    • Launches go-ahead homer
      Conforto went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Friday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.

      Advice: The Rangers tied the game at 2-2 in the fifth inning, but Conforto's seventh-inning blast put the Giants ahead for good. The outfielder has slumped since returning from a hamstring injury, going 2-for-14 over four contests, but his long ball Friday could spark his bat. Overall, he's at a .268/.324/.478 slash line with eight homers, 22 RBI, 21 runs scored, seven doubles, one triple and no stolen bases through 42 games. Conforto should continue to see a starting role in left field, though he could be squeezed out of the lineup versus some southpaws to accommodate the red-hot Heliot Ramos.

    • Logs steal in win
      Merrill went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 10-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: This was Merrill's first steal since May 14. Over the 20 contests between thefts, he hit a meager .224 (15-for-67) with no walks and just one extra-base hit. The 21-year-old still has a respectable .268/.303/.344 slash line with three home runs, 22 RBI, 24 runs scored and eight steals over 63 contests this year. Merrill has been benched against some left-handed pitchers recently, but he should have no trouble maintaining a majority of the playing time in center field over Jose Azocar.

    • On bench Friday
      Fraley is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.

      Advice: Fraley will dodge a matchup with lefty Justin Steele on Friday. Jonathan India will DH and Santiago Espinal will play second base. Rotowire.com Friday, 12:07 pm
       
    • Nick Castellanos homers, Phillies sweep Brewers
      Nick Castellanos swatted a two-run homer on Wednesday, lifting the Phillies to a 2-0 victory over the Brewers.

      Advice: Castellanos connected for a 402-foot blast off Brewers southpaw Aaron Ashby in the fifth inning for his eighth big fly of the season. It wound up being the lone tally for either side in a rare low-scoring showdown at Citizens Bank Park and was more than enough run support for Aaron Nola and the Phillies’ bullpen in this one. The 32-year-old corner outfielder has homered twice in this last seven contests since May 29. Rotoworld Wednesday, 4:53 pm
       
    • Provides only offense in win
      Castellanos went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Brewers.

      Advice: The veteran outfielder provided the game's only offense by taking Aaron Ashby deep in the fifth inning. Castellanos is beginning to climb out of his early season hole, batting .270 (17-for-63) over his last 16 games with four of his eight homers on the season, along with 11 runs and 11 RBI.

    • Idle against southpaw
      Conforto is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Conforto will hit the bench for the day game after a night game while Arizona brings a lefty (Jordan Montgomery) to the hill. After returning from the injured list Monday, Conforto started in left field in both of the first two games of the series, going 0-for-8 with a walk and three strikeouts.
